Projectors not keeping groups!

RDG D. shared this bug 6 years ago
Won't Fix

This has been happening for AGES, projectors are not keeping the blueprint groups, the end result is often catastrophic, it breaks the quickbar presets, it breaks any mechanic with scrips / timer blocks that uses groups to do things.


This needs an urgent fix!

Greetings,


This problem seems to be appearing at random and I couldnt find the exact reason I could replicate it and recorded a small video that should help find. First, this is what i did as soon as i started up the game


went straight for the projector ship, added a blueprint, aligned it, and built, the result had the groups all nicely. After that I separated the built ship from the projector ship, re-added the 1x1 block i grinded down to separate both ships, re-added the blueprint and move it slightly, to a new connect point. The result as the video bellow shows is that this ship now loses all of its groups causing problems. Please, watch this short video:

I could replicate this bug by doing the following steps:


1. got myself into the savegame, got into the projector ship, loaded the blueprint, aligned everything so an 1x1 armor block of the to-be built ship touches a 1x1 armor block on the projector ship.


2. build the ship, it was perfect.

3. grinded down the connecting 1x1 armor block on the projector ship, deleted the built ship, and added back the 1x1 armor block to the projector ship

4. got into the projector ship, loaded up the very same blueprint again (keep projection was off) the ship was in the exact same position as before, but this time i moved it a little around so this time the 1x1 armor block of the projector ship was connecting to the bottom of a small reactor on the to-be projected ship.

5. built it, it was missing the groups.

6. loaded a different ship blueprint, aligned it so the projector ship 1x1 armor block touches a the side of a thruster

7. built the ship, the new built ship also didn't had any groups.

I did find that if you build the cockpit before the blocks in the groups on the cockpits control bar were built, you would then loose those groups. That was a while ago. Not tested it for ages.

Hello!

Thank you for the information and video. However, I have not been able to reproduce this as the groups have stayed for me. Is it possible this could be retested in the recent 197.069 update?

Kind regards,
